• Message number: 283

• Message text: &1 &2 Create G/L account &3 &4 first

What causes this issue?

You chose the "Create Primary Cost Element" function. Primary cost
elements/revenue elements must have a counterpart in financial ac
counting. This means that the account must already be created as a G/L
account in the chart of accounts in financial accounting. However, the
account has not yet been created in financial accounting. This makes
creation as a primary cost element impossible.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check if you want to create the cost element as a primary cost element
and how you want to use it in CO.
If the cost element is also to be assigned to an account in financial
accounting, it must be created as a G/L account in a company code in
financial accounting.
If the cost element is not to be assigned to an account in financial
accounting (additional costs in CO), it is sufficient to create the G/L
account as a chart of accounts item.
You can then create the cost element as a secondary cost element using
the corresponding function in cost accounting if no corresponding
account exists in financial accounting.
